Miami, FL, December 19, 2022 – Domaine Bousquet, Argentina’s largest producer and exporter of wines made exclusively from certified organic grapes, is now a certified B corporation.
B Corp companies, all for-profits organizations, commit to being a force for good over the long-term. Members of the global non-profit network work toward a more inclusive and regenerative global economy, for the benefit of people and communities around the world and for the good of our planet. In addition to demonstrating high standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability, B Corp members commit to continuous improvement, and are assessed and verified every three years.
Anne Bousquet, co-owner and CEO of Domaine Bousquet, notes that “Our winery is located in a small, remote community, so, of course, we help each other. We are an extended family. This way of thinking and looking at the world carries over into everything we do both at home and at work. We are a global extended family and together we become a force for good in the local community and within the world at large.”
The B Corp community in the U.S. and Canada is over 1,700 companies-strong, with well-known names such as Ben & Jerry’s, Patagonia, Warby Parker, and 24 wineries, including two from Argentina. Globally, there are currently 5,538 B Corp companies in 84 countries, across 157 industries.

Domaine Bousquet, owned and run by husband-and-wife team Labid al Ameri and Anne Bousquet, has made a name for itself in the organic category in a relatively short period, beginning with the 2005 release of the winery’s first vintage. The 672-acre estate in Gualtallary, a sub-zone of Tupungato in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, is now Argentina’s premier producer and exporter of certified organic wines. Vineyards planted in virgin terrain, starting in the late 1990s, lie at a dizzying altitude of 4,000 feet. True to its owners’ European heritage, the wines are crafted with a French winemaking sensibility. https://domainebousquet.com/en/
